Hi Michael

I agree with that, in fact that point was covered in the paragraph starting "The downside is ...". Rather than lazy-loading pages, I lazy-load page-content where requried (i.e creating the page takes a noticable time). So the Page is static, but lazy-loads its child elements.

Hi Chris,

one problem I see with your solution is that the App could take long time to launch, when there are a bunch of Pages that have to be initialized at launch (depending on the structure of the Pages).

So I would prefer lazy loading Pages, which will be initialized when it is needed.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Hi Markus

In my app I chose to instantiate all my Pages in the same place. Each of the pages has a declaration in a separate qml file (e.g. MainPage.qml, AreaSelectionPage.qml).

With this architecture none of the declarations need to know about the previous or next page. It is not their concern. Instead they emit signals NextPage, BackPageWithInfo, and Cancelled. In the signal handler in the page instantation I do the actual pushing and popping, and because all pages are instantiated in the same scope, they are all available to be pushed / popped to. (see code example below).

The downside is that all the pages are created on startup (regardless of if they are ever visited). For lightweight pages this is not a problem, but for some pages this might be a problem. For these I dynamically create the page content when the page is visible.

Chris

Thanks for your inputs!

Calling

PreviousPage.topic = "MyTopic";
pageStack.pop();

gives me a ReferenceError: PreviousPage is not defined.

PreviousPage.qml and property string topic do exist.

Thanks for your patience!

Markus
